Results are then streamed back to the search head, which merges and presents them. This drama

Explanation
The primary benefit of distributed search is parallelism: the search head dispatches a search simultaneously to all indexer peers, each of which searches its local data at the same time. Results are then streamed back to the search head, which merges and presents them. This dramatically reduces search time compared to querying a single indexer sequentially. Resilience from indexer failure (C) and search head failure (D) are benefits of indexer clustering and search head clustering respectively, not of distributed search itself.
